In this classic text the authors examine the links between racism, psychological ill health and inadequate treatment of ethnic minorities. Through a series of case studies they discuss:* the psychological legacy of colonialism and slavery* the racist bias in psychiatric and psychological theory* diagnostic bias* the role of religion in mental health or illness* the value of anthropological and pschoanalytic insights.The concluding chapter in this edition reviews the development of 'transcultural psychiatry' and summarises changes in administration of the Mental Health Act.
